Bright Memory

About

Bright Memory is a high-octane first-person action game where you play Shelia, an agent battling rogue terrorists and supernatural threats. Developed by a single studio using Unreal Engine, it emphasizes rapid combat with a focus on chaining abilities and weapons into fluid attacks. You’ll navigate a sci-fi mystery involving ancient relics that reanimate the dead, mixing exploration with intense firefights as you fight through a mysterious floating island. The game leans into tight movement and weapon customization, letting you adapt to waves of enemies and environmental hazards. The blend of over-the-top gunplay and a pulpy narrative sets it apart. While the story leans into familiar action tropes, the combat stays crisp and responsive, with a focus on speed and agility. Community feedback highlights its addictive combo system and the challenge of balancing upgrades. Though solo development shows in some polish, the sheer energy of the gameplay keeps it engaging. The floating island setting adds a fresh twist, though its full potential remains unevenly realized.

Storyline

This game depicts the maiden adventure of a woman named Shelia in the year 2020. The 1000-year-old relic swords known as "Kanshou and Bakuya", discovered through SRO research, have been found to comprise a unique multilayered structure, containing a mysterious substance in their cores. This substance, known as the "Soul of Jiu Xuan", possesses the ability to reanimate the dead. In an attempt to take possession of the substance, the "SAI" - a massive terrorist organization controlling its own army - has used a cutting-edge piece of technology known as a "Quantum Transporter" to infiltrate the SRO research facility and steal top-secret and incredibly dangerous data. To make matters worse, while attempting to calibrate coordinates on the Quantum Transporter, Shelia mistakenly activates the device, immediately transporting everyone in the vicinity to the Floating Island - an airborne continent near the North Pole, undisturbed in its slumber for over 1000 years. It is soon discovered that the various beasts and corpses of those who once populated the island have been reanimated by the "Soul of Jiu Xuan", and they're coming for Shelia...
